Leaving Fossil Fuels Out of the Coming Electric Vehicle Revolution

Slingshot solar systems and juicebox electric car chargers

The Electric Vehicle Revolution will be Powered by Solar Energy

With the recent popularity and viability of electric only and plugin vehicles more attention has been paid to where and how the required electricity will be generated. Using dirty coal or natural gas ( when I say dirty, I am referring to CO2 as a by product of combustion) to power your electric car is not at all step in the right direction. What makes the most sense is to combine solar pv technology with energy storage and charging equipment to make a clean transportation system solution.

Here is the latest news of two companies with this same line of thought.

eMotorWerks, a leading manufacturer of intelligent and connected Smart[Grid] charging solutions for electric vehicles, announced a partnership with Slingshot Power, a provider of highly efficient solar solutions, to offer a unique solar package that delivers the most advanced residential charging solution at an attractive bundled price to enable a cleaner, more resilient and more affordable way of charging electric vehicles.

Juice-box electric car charger

Customers contracting with Slingshot Power will receive a free JuiceBox™ Pro 40, the most advanced residential charging station available today. In addition to providing an unparalleled set of driver features via its JuiceBox Smartphone App, JuiceBox Pro 40 makes EV charging cleaner and more efficient. Its advanced time-of-use functionality and ability to react to electric grid conditions allows EV drivers to minimize adverse impact on the grid while maximizing the use of clean energy to recharge their cars.

We are extremely excited about this new partnership with Slingshot Power. Founder Valery Miftakhov noted;

We’ve succeeded in developing the most advanced energy-efficient charging solutions for electric vehicle drivers and now also offer them the best solar solution. Our bundled solar combined with the JuiceBox solution is a real win-win for eMotorWerks and Slingshot’s customers.

As with all Slingshot Power products and services, this bundle comes with affordable financing options, including payment programs with little to no upfront cost. Additionally, recent studies in California indicate that home buyers are willing to pay more for homes with solar photovoltaic systems.

Electric vehicle sales are increasing steadily across the nation and in the California Bay Area plug-in car sales account for nearly 10% of new vehicle car sales, making a clean, efficient solar and electric vehicle charging combination a sound investment for today and the future.

“We offer the most advanced and efficient solar charging solutions; collaborating with eMotorWerks kicks it up a notch and makes the most sense for our customers,” said Ravi Chiruvolu, CEO of Slingshot Power.

Slingshot Power is on a mission to lead the Clean Energy Revolution. Now is the time to take down the Energy Goliaths and put the power back in your hands.
